Deniz Albee Square Reviews
Reminds me of Istanbul!! As a frequent traveler I enjoyed my time in Istanbul, Turkey🇹🇷. One of the best things was the food so when I came back home in 2020 I searched for Turkish food. I’ve been coming to Deniz ever since then. The service is friendly , the atmosphere is great and the food is excellent. Deniz is a nice cozy restaurant with authentic Turkish food and decor. The rice, house salad & Salmon kabob is my absolute fave. I only wish they had Bulgar on the menu!
A local Turkish treasure! Very homely, cozy environment, family friendly spot, the staff were very attentive and accommodating. The crowd was a mix of girls night out, couples and family. It’s for everyone! The meat (both chicken and beef) was rich and tender, with fabulous spices. Met some locals there who frequent this spot who said it’s a long standing favorite among the Brooklyn’ers, cant beat their cuisine. After enjoying a perfect dinner, I can see why.
I love this place. I been coming here about 9 to 10 yrs. Never got disappointed of the service and every loving thing they do to make you comfortable. I wish I could say more just come and you will see and taste what I am talking about love all of them
Deniz serves dishes that show real skill in the kitchen. The dessert menu here confirmed my usual preference. If I'm around here, I'll come back for sure. The team exhibits outstanding hospitality and the environment feels genuinely enjoyable. The spot provides numerous outstanding features.
Everything was perfect as always. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was excellent again. I also tried the chef’s new special dessert — it was amazing! I highly recommend trying it before it’s gone. I also really enjoyed the traditional quince dessert; the texture and flavor were spot on.
An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is attentive without being overbearing, and every bite is packed with authentic flavor. You can feel the care and tradition in the cooking, and it truly elevates the whole experience. This is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
Deniz is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, we were welcomed with warm, fresh bread that set the tone for an incredible meal. We ordered the Special Beyti Kebab, which was perfectly seasoned ground beef mixed with onions, parsley, and aromatic herbs—grilled to perfection and served with a fresh house salad and fluffy rice. The Chicken Chops were another highlight—expertly grilled, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was delicious, and the service was just as outstanding. If you're looking for authentic Turkish cuisine with top-tier flavors and hospitality, Deniz is the place to go! Highly recommend!
Deniz in Brooklyn is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Turkish cuisine! From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. I had the pleasure of trying several dishes, and each one was more flavorful than the last. The lamb shish kebab was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the chicken Adana was fantastic as well– the baba ganoush was incredibly fresh. One standout is the bread, freshly baked and served warm. The attention to detail and quality in every dish is clear. Deniz offers generous portions at reasonable prices, which makes it an even better find. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. anoush was incredibly fresh. Their drink menu offers a great selection of Turkish wines and cocktails. They also offer non-alcoholic options, and they also have authentic Turkish teas and juices, which are a refreshing treat. To top it all off, their dessert options are wonderful. We tried the kunefe, which was warm and deliciously cheesy. If you’re in Brooklyn and craving Turkish food, Deniz is the place to go. Highly recommended for a casual dinner or even a special occasion!
My overall rating is 4.5 stars for this restaurant. I'm taking off 0.5 star due to the high prices considering the fact that it's located all the way in Brooklyn. I don't think that it is fair to charge Manhattan prices there. Other than that, both food and service quality were good. They do have an outside seating available although we sat inside.
Food was incredible and the service was great. Staff was so attentive! The atmosphere in here is lovely and the decor was beautiful. Turkish coffee - very good and cute cup! Chicken adana - I think there should be two strips there but it’s great!! Chicken kebab - fire honestly can’t go wrong Seafood linguini - did not personally try but the person who got this said a lighter sauce rather than tomato would have been better but it was still delicious I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be coming back!!
Love this place. The food is amazing. The staff was very friendly. Great dining space with a small bar area with seating. The space us really relaxing. Perfect for a date night or out with friends. We started with the appetizer sample. Big enough for 4 people to share but perfect for 2. I had one of the yogurtlu dishes. It was delicious. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I look forward to going back.
I’ve been coming to Deniz since I was a kid and today I brought my children here for the first time! Everything we had was excellent and the service was great. The grilled calamari salad and kofta wrap was delicious. I will always love this place for the memories and for the amazing Turkish cuisine. If you’re thinking about coming here please do!!
Tasty and fast delivery. Not pictured but really great starter was the spinach tarator, I only wish there was more than one half of a pita. Zucchini pancakes were good, but I think it would be better to ask for the yogurt serving on the side for delivery. Kibbeh was super flavorful; I wasn’t sure what it was before ordering, but it’s deep fried and great with lemon. We also got the lamb tacos, which were great, especially when I put the spinach tarator on top.
We stopped by here because our initial plan didn’t pan out and good thing because we discovered this gem! The food was on point and service was great. My only ish were the drinks. I didn’t taste the requested flavor and it was more rum than what I expected. They tried to fix it though but I guess I had different expectations. It was the painkiller. The mojitos were okay but I’ll leave the drinks out lol because the food was everything! Desert was on point, the mosaic and it was shareable! We had the Branzino and seafood linguini and man! Was it everything and then some. The pictures don’t tell it all. The side rice and salad complemented the pan seared Branzino and the linguini was packed with a lovely variety of seafood like shrimp, calamari, salmon and tilapia. Now the pan seared Branzino was well seasoned and a lovely size. I have eaten Branzino at a few restaurants and this was top notch. Service was friendly, decent, accommodating and professional. We had a lovely time and we recommend for singles, couples and large groups! Cheers!
I made a reservation here earlier in the day, and they got us seated real quick. The service was super friendly and efficient. We started with buffalo wings where pretty big and tasty. We also got the beef shish and adana kebab platters with no rice and extra salad. All the food is halal and it was a good meal, but a bit too pricey for what you get.
